Here's a version without the narrowband data. Some may prefer it like this.

Alright, here's the finished version. Cleaned up all those tiny artifacts and whatnot. https://www.flickr.com/photos/geckzilla/51154318699/in/dateposted-public/

really didn't want to lick that envelope so I utilized some baby drool running down my arm

Been slowly working on my own version of this year's anniversary pic over the past week. Used to only take a day. Still not quite done yet, but the baby cooperated today and I am really close now.

Second dose (pfizer) is in. Ready for my vaccine party... in two weeks

I spent so long carefully removing the tape from this cardboard box so that I can put it in the compost, and I feel so defeated after opening it.

why does it annoy me so much when astronomers mock all the nicknames people give the moon? git off mah timeline

lego discovery. baby for scale

Now I need a servicing mission kit to fix the wonky solar panels and the mirror

the coolest thing just happened! I was opening the shutter to let the cat chase a fly buzzing within, but found a spider already has taken care of it.

not to be outdone, I’m also getting the baby his vaccines today!

woo hoo got my first covid vaccine just now

I just want to say this thing is massive. Like way bigger than I thought it was going to be

Because I don’t already have enough things to do around the house, apparently. Anyone want to send a lego sized Canadarm decal for the arm? They seem to have forgotten

sure, just try to cram five wires into a single nut and just add tape when they don’t fit. no ground wires attached here. how does the circuit complete? 🤔🤔🤔

why is the electrical in my house so bad? was going to replace some light fixtures in a closet today and found the neutral wire attached to the ground. opened the switch box and am completely baffled at the hack job inside. how's it even work? great, now I need an electrician

Supermassive active black hole in a super subtle polar ring galaxy and accompanying possible super subtle overlap (at the lower left)

It has no name, it's just SWIFTJ1033.6+7303, and you can blame @AaronJBarth@twitter.com if you don't like this galaxy.

If you wanted to see more, the website is here, though it's also a store. Didn't want to seem like I was plugging an advertisement: https://www.shopbeksinski.com/

Randomly decided to look at the Beksinski website today and found this piece titled Quarantine. One of my favorite artists. Also seems to be a bunch of things I've never seen on there before. Wish I could go to visit the museum in Poland.

I, too, would like to post something green for St. Patrick’s day... did you know the Cat’s Eye nebula has a lot of [OIII] emission, which makes it glow green? A lot of images show it s as blue or red, but it’s really a pretty green object visually.
